The Blog of BlowoutCards.com — filled with the stuff collectors are talking about

From time to time, Buzz will break a box of something and break down the results here. Like this and want to see more — or maybe there’s a box you’d want to see busted? Send Buzz an email at BlowoutBuzz@blowoutcards.com.

What’s Buzz-worthy: The Heritage brand arrived early at retail at one national chain (now sold out until release day) but Buzz managed to grab a couple boxes and they delivered well. This is a fun blend of the 1987 Topps WWF design and the 1987 Topps baseball design — the best of both worlds — in a product that celebrates the past and present with a particular look at SummerSlam, the WWE’s second-biggest PPV of the year that’s coming up soon. This box delivered pretty well with a one in 29 boxes Kiss Card (another delivered a Shinsuke Nakamura shirt Relic parallel) and included a number of notable names. The inserts here once again feel similar to base cards — they use modified subset designs from the 1987 WWF release. Those are a tad simplistic but that’s OK with the other cards being as strong as they are. Autographs are potentially found in these boxes (a definite upgrade from last year, which was strong otherwise) and they’re guaranteed one per hobby box. (On-card like last year? We’ll see.) We’ll see and say more about that after we rip into one next week when they arrive. Based on this early look, this one should be fun as a collector and fan.
